Max,
I've learned through hard knocks that most people can afford what they are willing to sacrifice for. I can't tell you how many times Steve Dillon said no to a parent screaming poverty, and I'd look out the side door to see the family driving away in a BMW or Mercedes. A tuba for junior just wasn't as important as Dad being able to flash a Mercedes for his golf buddies.
Never loan out anything unless you can live with the fact you just gave it away. Sometimes I chose to 'loan' things out. Matt
